If you need some good news today- you should know that the sea turtle nesting data for 2023 is in and it’s really promising. In Florida, both greens and loggerheads have reached record high numbers of nests. We’re really hoping this is a success story in the making for both of these species.
Almost half of the world’s loggerheads nest in Florida, meaning the state has a huge responsibility to conserve the species.

@wizard_bisan1 and AJ+ have been nominated for a Peabody Award for her coverage of Gaza.
For over 6 months, Bisan Owda has shown the world how life in Gaza has been through her eyes. She has told the story of Palestinian survival in the face of the Israeli genocide.
Before Oct. 7, Bisan was making films about cultural life in her native Gaza for her own YouTube channel.
In 2023, AJ+’s @denatakruri won a Peabody Award for her story “One Day in Hebron,” which gave a firsthand account of the Israeli occupation in Hebron, in the occupied West Bank.

The sick reality is that many of the renowned academics and writers among Gaza's thousands of martyrs will, in twenty years time, be quoted and memorialised by the same universities and institutions that have denigrated them and enabled their slaughter.

Among those arrested in Atlanta today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University. You can hear her ask the PhD student taking the video:
“Can you call the Philosophy Department office and tell them I’ve been arrested?...I’m Noelle McAfee, I’m Chair of the Philosophy Department”

ATTENTION! TIME TO PUT YOUR MONEY AND TIME WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS FOR STUDENT ACTIVISTS!
emory encampment just got violently raided by police after 5 hours of peacefully handing out food. i personally saw videos of a person having their heads thrown into the ground, a Black person clearly marked as a street medic being held down and tased repeatedly, and police grabbing and shoving people violently. a person was choked as they were thrown to the ground. there are reports of not only tasing, but tear gas and rubber bullets. remember also that this isn't just emory students, but students from universities across georgia— here are testimonies from spelman and morehouse students about the raid.
the bail fund is the ven/mo @hallestewart and the atl solidarity fund is helping as well
if you are in ATL show up to emory now. hundreds of students and community members have taken the place of the arrested, but WE STILL NEED MORE! we CANNOT let this happen again. EVERY BRUTALIZATION IS THE RESULT OF NOT ENOUGH COMMUNITY PROTECTION.
if you would like to make your feelings known to representatives and campus officials, contacts below. DEMAND any charges be dropped, and that students do not face disciplinary action. DEMAND justice for the people brutalized at emory.
and remember that there is a reason that the police in a predominantly Black county are the ones responding the most violently.
There is non-specific promotion of the campus contacts by the organizers, so contact these two with whatever you will— I would personally demand no disciplinary action and condemning their actions.
Office of the President:
404-727-6013
Campus Life Central:
404-727-5693
Demands for the contacts below— URGENT ACTION: Please contact these Dekalb Reps about the protest happening at Emory right now. Ask them to contact Dekalb DA to drop all potential charges against students. (If you have personal numbers contact folks that way, otherwise call office numbers this will take you to their Admin who is a Government employee so please be kind)
Possible script for below given by Georgia Muslim Voter Project: Hello, I am a concerned citizen and I am calling to urge [insert rep name] to contact the DeKalb County DA to drop all potential charges against students arrested at Emory University. Freedom of speech and assembly are core American values and the students are just exercising their rights.

🐙 Daily Cephalopod Fact: 🐙
Dumbo Octopus: The name "dumbo" originates from their resemblance to the title character of Disney's 1941 film Dumbo, having two prominent ear-like fins which extend from the mantle above each eye. Dumbo octopuses are the deepest living octopuses known, with some specimens captured or observed at hadal depths (20,000 to 36,000 ft) below sea level.
